Top Rated Penetration Tester | Web, API, Mobile & Network VAPT

I provide manual, risk-focused penetration testing and VAPT services for organizations that need accurate findings, clear impact, and practical remediation, not automated scan output. I am a Lead Penetration Tester and Senior Cybersecurity Consultant with 150+ completed security assessments across fintech, SaaS, healthcare, and government environments. My work focuses on identifying high-impact vulnerabilities including business logic flaws, authentication and authorization weaknesses, SSO misconfigurations, and realistic attack paths that automated tools frequently miss. Clients engage me when they need credible results they can rely on, whether for security hardening, audit preparation, or post-remediation validation.
